Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Nature

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.”
                                                                                       ~John Burroughs
 
I stroll down the sun-dappled trail
under a tranquil canopy of trees 
where the light uplifts my spirit
and the shadows soothe my soul,
The aroma of blossoming flowers 
strives to set me free from
the restless nights and trying days
persuading my forlorn heart
to venture forth anew
on life’s long and wearisome ways;

Why then must I in anguish weep?
Why do I for heaven aspire?
